Automation Broker

While virtualization and grid computing offers your enterprise new flexibility, controlling IT workload has become increasingly complex. Balancing workload across a virtual IT landscape, managing complex dependencies, optimizing use of valuable IT resources and alignment with emerging technologies such as Web Services, and CMDB integration are among the many new challenges facing IT departments.

UC4 Software's solution dynamically manages provisioning of available system resources to optimize workload throughput and match ever-changing business demands.

Manage Workload Dynamically
Dispatch workload dynamically across available IT resources. Make routing decisions—what to run and where—in real-time. Avoid delays by re-queuing work from busy systems to available resources

Integrate Cross-Platform Scheduling
Create complex process flows that span virtual, LINUX, UNIX, Windows, Web Application Server, legacy and other server platforms. Proactively manage and monitor workload across all systems from a central point.

Virtualize the Enterprise Landscape
Group IT assets such as servers, database tables and SANs as logical resources. Gain increased flexibility by optimizing allocation of IT resources based on business demands.

Align IT Resources with Business Needs
Close the gap between IT and business processes. Dynamically provision IT resources in response to changing business conditions. Ensure that IT performance and throughput exceeds end-user SLAs.

UC4 Extends Automation Brokering (Example)
A leading enterprise software vendor faced massive operational challenges needing to run more than 2,000,000 jobs on a daily basis across 10,500 servers. With UC4 managing workload, decisions that would be impossible to take manually are taken automatically at machine speed ensuring that jobs are routed at run time to systems where spare capacity is available. Status monitoring of critical resources combined with dynamic dispatching of workload ensures bottlenecks are no longer a barrier to throughput. The organization's daily operations are handled reliably while also being dynamic and responsive to changing business conditions with UC4.
